What is a chatbot?
A chatbot is a special computer program but it has a different GUI (Graphical User Interface) than a normal web app or a mobile app. In a normal app, we have to click or tap buttons to get our task done but in a chatbot we can chat with that program and get tasks done. As an example, assume you’re using a taxi app and you want to go to BMICH. So you have to select the taxi type, location and everything but if you use a chatbot you can do those things at once. By a single text message like “Please send a luxury cab to go to BMICH” will do all the things.
